I capture my video using Vegas 5.0 with the ADVC-100 connected through a firewire card in my computer. My understanding is that the ADVC-100 compresses the video in Canopus DV and passes it off to the PC for storage in the AVI file. This file's compreesion in Windows Explorer's Properties is "DVSoft" not "Canopus DV" or even "MS DV". I have Procoder 2.0 on my PC so the Canopus DV codec is installed. VirtualDUB lists the file's compression as "DVSoft" also. Using the utility AVICodec, the video codec of the ADVC-100 captured AVI file is "dvsd (Stub DV Compression Manager) = Sony Digital Video".
I have always wondered how Vegas would know to mark a captured AVI file as "Canopus DV" when it doesn't know that a Canopus ADVC is doing the compression.
This whole thing came up when AVISynth's Info command said that my captured AVI had a "RGB32" colorspace when Canopus DV files have a YUY2 colorspace.
Any ideas why "DVSoft" is marked as the file's compression and/or how to correct this problem? I tried uninstallinj the DVSoft codec but it keeps coming back .Thanks...
